Hunter was best known for starring in the 1958 film version of the Broadway musical "Damn Yankees!" as Washington Senators slugger Jack Hardy.

At the age of 15 Hunter ran off to join the Coast Guard, but was dismissed from service after it was discovered he had lied about his age. THR reports his music inspired Warner Bros., the studio behind most of his films, to launch Warner Bros. Stevenson said Hunter, who came to Santa Fe in 2015 to introduce a double-bill screening of Tab Hunter Confidential and Lust in the Dust, was planning to return in July for the upcoming Hipico horse show.

In recent years, Hunter appeared in dinner theaters and organized film projects.

In his '50s-'60s heyday, Hunter appeared in both films and TV, with credits including 1952's Island of Desire, Battle Cry and The Sea Chase ('55), and two 1956 co-starring roles opposite Natalie Wood, The Burning Hills and The Girl He Left Behind.
